We live in a world where nothing has been left untouched by humanity: composer Jan-Peter de Graaff chats about the inspirations for his new cello concerto
Jan-Peter de Graaff, Maya Fridman and North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra after the premiere of The Forest in April, live-streamed from Tivoli-Vredenburg in Utrecht in March 2021 (Photo Anna van Kooij) In November 2021, Moscow-born Netherlands-based cellist Maya Fridman released The Forest in April, a disc of cello concertos by the Dutch composer Jan-Peter de Graaff, recorded with North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra and conductors Sander Teepen and Nicolò Foron on the TRPTK label. The disc features Jan-Peter's Concerto No. 5, The Forest in April, which was written for Fridman, alongside his Concerto No. 4, Rimpelingen (Ripples).

I've never heard either of the latter two. […]

Ulster turns for salvation to BBC man
The Ulster Orchestra, on the brink of collapse for the past two years, has named Richard Wigley as its next managing director. Richard, a New Zealander, spent ten years as head of the BBC Philharmonic in Manchester. He starts work immediately. He inherits an orchestra saved by Sinn Fein from disaster. And one whose two chief execs tend to vanish overnight without a word of official explanation. We wish him every success. press release: The Ulster Orchestra has announced that its new Managing Director is Richard Wigley.
